The Atlanta-based Shepherd Center will receive a $100,000 grant from Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization that honors and empowers injured troops.
The SHARE Military Initiative at the Shepherd Center began in 2008 to provide rehabilitation care for men and women who have sustained a spinal cord or traumatic brain injury while serving the U.S. military in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The program provides a comprehensive care that includes housing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and legal, financial and psychological counseling.
The Shepherd Center, founded in 1975, is a private, not-for-profit hospital that specializes in medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury or brain injury.
